Choreographic Participation Scale Data for Sports Fandom and Collective Emotion Regulation

Supplementary file 1 contains the study 'Staging the stands: the ritual choreography of sports fandom and collective emotion regulation' by Yuanmei He, last updated on 2026-04-29. The 29.1 KB DOCX file describes a mixed-methods study involving 18 field observations and interviews and a subsequent survey of 342 devoted football fans in South China. The research developed and validated a 5-item Choreographic Participation Scale to measure fan performance dimensions like Bodily Synchronization.

Use Cases

• Validating a structural equation model linking choreographic participation to social identity and positive affect based on the described survey results.
• Analyzing the relationship between embodied fan performance and psychological well-being independent of match outcome as described in the study.
• Replicating the factor analysis for the 9-item and refined 5-item Choreographic Participation Scale (CPS) mentioned in the description.
• Studying the application of Turner's ritual drama theory in modern sports stadiums as a liminal space, based on the study's conceptual framework.

Strengths

• Includes a validated 5-item measurement scale (Choreographic Participation Scale) with a three-dimensional structure confirmed by factor analysis.
• Study design incorporates mixed methods: qualitative field observations and interviews (N=18) followed by a quantitative survey (N=342).
• Results include specific statistical coefficients (e.g., β=.66 for social identity, β=.59 for positive affect) from Structural Equation Modeling.

Limitations

• The primary file is a 29.1 KB DOCX document; the underlying raw survey data or coded interview transcripts are not explicitly stated to be included.
• Row count for any potential tabular data is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for direct analysis.
• Column-level documentation for any quantitative data is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the manuscript.
